Winter is still holding strong in much the US. However, I know there are those of you out there who have already taken a trip or two to warmer climes to get a jumpstart on your climbing this year. Hopefully this will give the rest of you that extra boost to get out there.

Salomon puts out some great skiing clips throughout the season. Their latest edition again highlights a combination that is becoming more and more common - skiing and flying.

In case you are one of those folks who aren't quite ready to put away their skis, here's a nice one from ski mountaineer Vivian Bruchez.

AAI will be running our 6-day Ski/Snowboard Mountaineering course later on this spring. We have slots open in our May 12-17 course, and are still looking for enough skiers to confirm our earlier courses. If you are interested in joining us for one of these, check out our Ski/Snowboard Mountaineering page or email me at james@alpineinstitute.com

Warning

Climbing, skiing and mountaineering are dangerous sports. When you undertake an outdoor, backcountry, or an alpine adventure without a guide, you assume total responsibility for your decisions and wellbeing. Conditions in the mountains are constantly changing, and no guidebook or computer web blog can take the place of solid training and experience. Though this site features descriptions of roads, trails, climbing routes, and other natural features, you cannot assume that because something is described here that it has not changed since last observed or that it will be safe for you or your party.
AAI assumes no responsibility or liability for your use of the information presented in this blog. With regard to all backcountry travel and climbing, you must make your own assessments and decisions, and you assume all risks in applying them.
